Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the can of golden corn soup, eggs, and milk.
- Stir in the corn muffin mix just until blended.
- Fold in the cooked, drained, and crumbled pork sausage.
- Spoon the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using spicy sausage instead of mild. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the pork sausage with crumbled tofu or a plant-based sausage. Always keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens vary; check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. Don't overmix the batter to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm as a delightful side dish to your favorite protein, such as grilled chicken or Pork Chops And Apples. For a complete meal, pair it with a fresh salad or a bowl of chili. This dish is also perfect for brunch and can be enjoyed with a dollop of butter or honey for added sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cornbread to cool completely before storing. Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or foil, or place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
Yes, this cornbread freezes well. Once cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven for the best flavor and texture.
